ISO 17779 is an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) document for brazing of metallic materials. It specifies how to prepare, test, qualify, record and specify brazing procedures so a manufacturer can prove that a brazing method is repeatable in production. The document is aimed at manufacturers, examiners, examining bodies, and anyone who needs to qualify and control brazing procedures.

What does ISO 17779 specify?

ISO 17779 specifies the requirements for specification and qualification of brazing procedures for metallic materials. It covers the brazing test piece, testing of the test specimen, essential variables and their qualification ranges, acceptance criteria, the brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR), and the brazing procedure specification (BPS).

ISO 17779 applies to brazing processes with local and global heating, including infrared, flame or torch, laser beam, electron beam, induction, resistance, diffusion, furnace, vacuum, dip-bath, salt-bath, flux bath, immersion and arc weld brazing. It does not cover testing of residual stresses, corrosion resistance or impact properties. It also excludes brazing for aerospace applications covered by ISO 11745.

The document is organized as follows:

• Clauses 1-3: scope, normative references, terms and definitions
• Clause 4: preliminary brazing procedure specification (pBPS)
• Clause 5: brazing procedure test
• Clause 6: test piece
• Clause 7: examination and testing
• Clause 8: essential variables and range of qualification
• Clause 9: brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR)
• Clause 10: brazing procedure specification (BPS)

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Quality requirements for brazing
Annex B	Example BPS form
Annex C	Examples of test pieces
Annex D	Example BPQR form
Annex E	Material grouping system
Annex ZA	Relationship to EU Directive 2014/68/EU

What are the key requirements of ISO 17779?

ISO 17779 sets out a qualification route that starts with a written preliminary brazing procedure specification (pBPS), continues through brazing and testing of representative test pieces, and ends with a qualified BPQR and BPS. In practice, the standard is about proving that a specific brazing procedure can be repeated with controlled results.

Procedure planning and test pieces

Clause 4 requires a pBPS before qualification work starts. Clause 6 says the test piece must represent the intended production joint, use the proposed joint design, and be brazed under general production-like conditions.

If no application standard fixes the specimen shape and size, the contracting parties agree them. Annex C gives example test pieces, including lap joints, butt joints, socket-type joints and T-joints. This matters because the test piece has to be large enough for all required examinations and any retesting.

Testing and acceptance

Clause 7 requires testing in accordance with the joint type and Table 1. Visual testing is required on all test pieces, and the standard ties the work to EN 12797 for destructive tests and EN 12799 for non-destructive examination.

The test programme depends on the joint type:

• T-joints: metallographic examination and bend testing
• Lap joints: metallographic examination and shear or peel testing
• Butt joints: metallographic examination and tensile or bend testing

Acceptance is based on ISO 18279:2023. A brazing procedure is qualified when imperfections meet quality level B, except that excess braze metal uses quality level C, and no imperfection may pass through the joint length. For a reader, this is the pass/fail rule for qualification.

Re-testing and witness

Clause 7 also sets the re-testing rules. If visual or non-destructive testing fails, one further test piece is brazed and tested. If destructive testing fails only because of braze imperfections, two additional specimens are tested for each failed specimen. Clause 6.3 requires brazing and testing to be witnessed by an examiner or an examining body. That makes the qualification traceable and independently checked.

Essential variables and qualification range

Clause 8 defines what changes require re-qualification. Each qualification test qualifies only one brazing process, and changes beyond the stated range require a new brazing procedure test.

Important variables include:

• brazing process
• product type
• type of joint
• branch connection angle
• parent material group(s)
• filler metal, flux and brazing filler application
• dimensions
• filler metal flow direction
• post-braze heat treatment
• technical and quality control conditions

For example, the same process family is not enough if the process changes, furnace atmosphere type changes, or the fuel gas/flame type changes. Table 2 and Table 3 define which product types and joint types can be covered. Annex E groups parent materials by M-number so one qualification can cover materials within the same group. This matters because it limits how far a qualification can be stretched to other products or materials.

Qualification records and procedure instructions

Clause 9 says the BPQR must capture the test results, including re-tests, the relevant BPS items, and any rejectable features. It must be signed and dated by the examiner or examining body when the procedure qualifies.

Clause 10 says the BPS is the work instruction for production brazing. It has to identify the manufacturer, the procedure, the parent materials, joint design, process, filler metal, flux, gas, temperature, atmosphere, cleaning, heat treatment and degree of mechanization. In practice, the BPS is the document the brazer or brazing operator follows on the shop floor.

Annex A adds contract-level quality items that parties should agree in advance, including acceptance criteria, retesting rules, test specimens, consumables, testing extent and documentation.

What terms does ISO 17779 define?

• Brazing - a joining process that uses filler metal with a liquidus temperature above 450 °C.
• Brazing procedure specification (BPS) - a qualified document that gives the required brazing variables to support repeatable production brazing.
• Preliminary brazing procedure specification (pBPS) - the unqualified draft version of the brazing procedure variables used before qualification.
• Brazing procedure qualification record (BPQR) - the record of all data gathered during brazing procedure qualification.
• Test piece - the brazed assembly made for testing.
• Test specimen - a part or portion cut from the test piece for destructive testing.
• Examiner - a person appointed to verify conformance with the applicable standard.
• Examining body - an organization appointed to verify conformance with the applicable standard.

Who uses ISO 17779?

ISO 17779 is used by manufacturers and brazing workshops that need to qualify a brazing procedure before production. It is also used by quality managers, contract reviewers and buyers when they need to agree the test route, acceptance criteria and documentation for brazed joints.

Examiners and examining bodies use ISO 17779 to witness the tests, review the results and sign the BPQR. In the pressure equipment field, Annex ZA shows how the standard can support the essential requirements of EU Directive 2014/68/EU for permanent joining.

What changed in ISO 17779 from the previous edition?

ISO 17779 is the second edition and it replaces ISO 17779:2021. The foreword states that the revision is technical.

The changes listed in the document are:

• requirements were clarified overall
• the introduction was revised to match ISO/DIS 15614-1
• the reference to Annex A was moved from the scope to Clause 7.5
• the reference to ISO 857-2 was deleted from the scope
• the sentence saying the principles could be applied to other brazing processes and materials was removed
• normative references in Clause 2 were updated
• Clause 3.4 was revised to avoid a circular definition
• some technically equivalent standards are no longer permitted in Clauses 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4.2-7.4.5
• the footnotes in Table 4 were revised for clarity
• equivalent technical condition standards are no longer permitted in Clause 8.7
• ISO 11745 was added to the bibliography

Which standards are used with ISO 17779?

What does the ISO 17779 document contain?

ISO 17779 contains the full qualification route for brazing procedures, from pBPS through test pieces, inspection and testing, to BPQR and BPS. It includes test and acceptance tables, plus the essential-variable rules that define when requalification is needed.

Annex B and Annex D provide example formats for the BPS and BPQR, which is useful for drafting consistent shop and quality records. Annex C shows example joint configurations for test pieces, and Annex E gives the material grouping system used to reduce the number of qualifications. Annex ZA maps the standard to EU pressure equipment requirements.

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide a general set of rules for brazing procedure qualification
independent of product or application.
All new brazing procedure qualification tests are intended to be performed in accordance with this document.
Specification and qualification of brazing procedures that were made in accordance with previous editions of
this document may be used for any application for which the current edition is specified. In this case, the
ranges of qualification of previous editions remain applicable.
Where additional tests need to be carried out to make the qualification technically equivalent, it is only
necessary to perform the additional tests on a test piece which should be made in accordance with this
document.
